...State Department last week called in beetle-browed Soviet Ambassador Georgy Zarubin to complain because New York-based Russian diplomats had browbeaten five refugee Russian sailors into abruptly going back home (TIME, April 23). Top-ranking offender, said State in its properly diplomatic memorandum, was Arkady A. Sobolev, Russia's chief U.N. delegate. Sobolev could stay in the U.S. if he tended to his U.N. business, but the U.S. was firmly booting out of the country his two aides and principal agents in the redefection case, Aleksandr Guryanov and Nikolai Tuakin. When Zarubin had heard all this, he drew...
...Zarubin reported the meeting to Moscow, where the five redefecting sailors (of 49 crewmen aboard the Russian tanker Tuapse, captured by the Chinese Nationalists in 1954) were trotted out before U.S. newsmen to read a long, mimeographed statement. Principal point: the Russians never wanted to stay in the U.S., but were so bulldozed and threatened into accepting "the so-called free way of life" that they had to plot their escape with cunning care. Back in Washington Zarubin apparently believed the Moscow version, for he suddenly demanded to see four of the redefectors' comrades, who happened...
Russia's Ambassador Georgy Zarubin was ushered into the White House at 11:30 a.m. last Wednesday to keep his well-heralded appointment with the President. A moment later, standing before Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles, he began reading off Marshal Bulganin's invitation to a 20-year nonaggression pact between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., pausing at the end of each sentence so the interpreter could translate...
...Iron Curtain has long piqued Frederick C. Schang Jr.. president of Columbia Artists Management Inc., who thought the Soviet stars would make a smash hit in the U.S. if they could only be coaxed away from home at the "psychological moment." In 1939 he dickered with Georgy N. Zarubin, Soviet Commissioner to the New York World's Fair, and signed up a team of seven musicians, including Oistrakh and Gilels. He even booked Carnegie Hall for six evenings. Then the U.S.S.R. signed its nonaggression pact with Nazi Germany, and the scheme went up in smoke...
...blew cold until, about a year ago, the Soviets joined UNESCO. That, decided Schang, meant a major policy shift, and he promptly opened negotiations with the Soviet embassy in Washington to import Russian musicians. His cause was helped by the fact that the Soviet ambassador is the Georgy Zarubin of World's Fair days. It may also have been helped by the fact that Violinist Yehudi Menuhin met Oistrakh in London and began his own correspondence with the State Department in the hope of winning his colleague a visa to the U.S. When Schang asked about visas, he said...
